Teaching Metodology

In this course, different teaching methods will be used, according to the specificity of knowledge to be transmitted and to be consolidated by the students. In this sense, it will be especially valued the "active learning methodology", which requires the active participation of students in their learning process. Based on the acquired knowledge, students will be asked to develop a state of the art that consolidates and transforms that knowledge into a set of practical exercises of considerable relevance for all their educational and professional career.
In addition, other complementary methods will be used, such as lectures, the Socratic method, the case method and "problem-based learning".

Demonstration of the syllabus coherence with the curricular unit's objectives

Identify and apply academic work on the main features and stages of scientific research process will be achieved by point 1 of the syllabus. Identify and describe the main types of scientific reasoning will be achieved by point 2 of the syllabus. Interpret legal reasoning through different strategies will be achieved by point 3 of the syllabus. Sort and select the different analytical methods used in the Legal Science will be achieved by point 4 of the syllabus. Identify and implement a solid, coherent speech logical principles and varied argumentative strategies will be achieved through the points 5, 6 and 7 of the syllabus.

Demonstration of the teaching methodologies coherence with the curricular unit's objectives

For all purposes will be mainly used to "active learning methodology", which requires the active participation of students in their learning process. However, the lectures are appropriate for achieving the first and second goals of this course; allow the approach of a large number of systematically subjects in a relatively short period of time. In that it inhibits the participation of student use will be limited to a minimum. The Socratic method encourages the construction of new knowledge, through the deconstruction of the initial knowledge of the student and encourages the active participation of the student in the learning process, developing critical and analytical skills, thus contributing to the achievement of cognitive and affective objectives. The same is true in view of technical skills, with the case method that will be promptly presented in variant Problem solving based.
